Summary

Lets Dependabot label all its pull requests, security updates included, with the organisation's label type: dependencies only, instead of its own labels (dependencies plus an ecosystem label).

In .github/dependabot.yml:

• Remove target-branch: dev from the 4 entries that set it (uv, github-actions, docker, pre-commit) and from the multi-ecosystem group service-images. dev is the default branch, so version updates still target it.
• Replace the header comment about target-branch with one that explains why no entry sets it.
• Keep the ignore rules. They now also apply to security updates: the connexion major hold, the MongoDB 7.0 hold, foca-common (bumped by hand), and foca and elixircloud/foca, which are bumped by hand together with the base image (a lone bump breaks the image build), so Dependabot won't open security updates for FOCA either. That's intended.

Nothing else changes: compared as data (keys sorted), the new file equals the old one minus target-branch plus labels on every entry.

Closes #492

Light lane: CI configuration only (Dependabot), no secrets, permissions or release workflow touched, so the reviewer subagents were skipped; I reviewed the diff myself.

Verification

• yq parses the new .github/dependabot.yml; every updates entry has labels: ["type: dependencies"]; no target-branch is left.
• Semantic diff against the default branch (yq -o=json 'sort_keys(..)'): only the intended change.
• CI: all checks pass (CI passed green) after merging dev, which brought the dnspython fix of build(deps): bump dnspython from 2.9.1 to 2.9.2 #491 (CVE-2026-128089 had failed Scan image before).

Reviewer's Guide

Configuration

Remove target-branch: dev from all Dependabot entries and the service-images group so their configured labels and ignore rules also apply to security updates, and update the explanatory comment.

#492 ci: let Dependabot label all its pull requests · 5 of 6 met · 1 to check by hand

#	Requirement	Status	Notes
1	Remove target-branch from every entry and group.	✅ Met	The service-images group and all four entries no longer set target-branch.
2	Update the header comment explaining target-branch.	✅ Met	The new comment explains that the default branch is dev and that setting target-branch prevents options from applying to security updates.
3	Keep the ignore rules.	✅ Met	The existing ignore rules remain in the uv, docker, docker-compose, and helm entries.
4	Every updates entry sets labels: ["type: dependencies"].	✅ Met	All six update entries have the requested label.
5	Make no other file changes beyond the requested target-branch removals and comment update.	✅ Met	The diff contains only those removals and the header comment change.
6	Dependabot pull requests, including security updates, carry only type: dependencies.	👀 Check by hand (external system)	Check a Dependabot pull request opened after this change, including a security update if one occurs, to confirm it carries only the type: dependencies label.

Hey - I've reviewed your changes and they look great!

Sourcery assessment

Needs a human reviewer. With target-branch removed, Dependabot’s existing ignore rules can now suppress matching security-update PRs, leaving affected dependencies without an offered fix. Reverting restores the prior behavior, but any time spent running with an update suppressed cannot be undone.
